Court allows Hafiz Mohammed Saeed's party registration

Islamabad: A Pakistani court on Thursday allowed the registration of Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed’s party — the Milli Muslim League. The Islamabad High Court ordered Election Commission of Pakistan to register the MML. Earlier, the ECP had declined to register the MML, citing Saeed’s alleged terror links. India and the United States hold Saeed responsible for the 26/11.

After the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, the United Nations Security Council had banned the JuD. Saeed has now announced to contest this year’s elections under the MML banner.
